Our Constant Concern

Mates of State

Minimalist maximalism. Distorted organ and frantic drums provide the backdrop for breathless, interlocking vocal harmonies that feel like a conversation.

January 10, 2002 · P-Vine Records

A restless, high-energy dialogue that balances domestic anxiety with melodic exuberance.

Moments Worth Listening For
the way the organ distorts into a fuzzy roar during the climax of Hoarding It for Home
the sudden rhythmic shift in I Know, and I Said Forget It where the drums drop into a frantic march
the moment in Halves and Have-Nots where the two voices merge into a single soaring melody before splitting again
